Other retrieve results link group 203, multiple links in the retrieval result page face that the guide look of the commodity that the commodity that comprise for being transferred to meeting among the commodity of search condition, shown by guide look in the current commodity guide look 201 that is consistent are different shows.Such as, when the link showing page sequence number is easily selected by a user, it is transferred to link the retrieval result page face of corresponding page sequence number with this.Additionally, when the link being shown as " prevpage " is chosen, be transferred to the retrieval result page face of the prevpage in currently displaying retrieval result page face.Such as, currently displaying in the case of the guide look of the commodity that are consistent of the 421st to the 450th, when have selected the link being shown as " prevpage ", show the guide look of the commodity that are consistent from the 391st to the 420th.Additionally, when the link being shown as " lower one page " is chosen, be transferred to the retrieval result page face of the lower one page in currently displaying retrieval result page face.Such as, currently displaying in the case of the guide look of the commodity that are consistent of the 421st to the 450th, if having selected the link being shown as " lower one page ", show the guide look of the commodity that are consistent from the 451st to the 480th.
Display project information display area 300, is the region of the information of the prompting numerical value showing the regulation relevant to the commodity retrieved.This project is referred to as " display project ".As display project, such as, there is the prompting numerical value i.e. price of the regulation relevant to the commodity retrieved, sell the evaluation of estimate etc. in the shop starting day, the number of packages of thoughts, sale.Information shown by display project information display area 300 substantially with in current sort criteria for determining that the benchmark project of priority is consistent.Such as, in the case of sort criteria is price order from low to high or price order from high to low, display project is price.Additionally, in the case of sort criteria is introduction goods order, display project starts day for selling.Additionally, sort criteria be thoughts number of packages order from more to less in the case of, display project is the number of packages of thoughts.Additionally, be by the evaluation order from high to low in shop sold at sort criteria in the case of, display project is by the evaluation in the shop sold.I.e., so-called sort criteria refers to the prompting numerical value i.e. order of metewand (such as price order from high to low) according to regulation.
Display project information display area 300 shows chart area 310, slider bar 330, indication range minima 341, indication range maximum 342, maximum 343, meansigma methods 344, total retrieval several 345 and display project alternatives menu 350 etc..
Chart area 310 is the region of rectangle, shows chart 311 in this region.Chart 311 is the broken line chart being denoted as the relation between priority and the display items purpose value of the display of the retrieval result of commodity that retrieve.Specifically, the transverse axis (paper left and right directions) of chart area 310 represents priority, i.e. represents the order of the display of the commodity retrieved, and the longitudinal axis (paper above-below direction) represents display items purpose value, i.e. represents the value (such as price) pointing out numerical value of the regulation relevant with the commodity of retrieval.In chart 311, the commodity that are consistent that the longitudinal positional representation priority of its left end is the highest, the display items purpose value of the commodity that are consistent of i.e. the 1st.Further, in chart 311, along with shifting to the right, the display items purpose value of the low commodity that are consistent of priority is represented, the display items purpose value of the commodity that are consistent that the longitudinal positional representation priority of its right-hand member is minimum.Additionally, chart 311 is all for i.e. retrieving result as the commodity gamut retrieved, represent the change of the display items purpose value corresponding with priority.
Additionally, display meansigma methods line 312 in chart area 310.Meansigma methods line 312 is the horizontal straight line of the display items purpose meansigma methods of the commodity representing retrieval.Meansigma methods line 312 is shown by corresponding with chart 311, and where thus can visually understand is meansigma methods.
Further, in chart area 310, show indication range frame 320 (example of scope instruction information).Indication range frame 320 is to represent the rectangle which scope is the scope of the commodity that are consistent shown by guide look in the commodity guide look 201 that is consistent be among whole commodity that are consistent.Indication range frame 320 is made up of 4 limits, it is boundary line, the left side 321 (example in beginning portion) among these limits, for determining the longitudinal edge in the left side of one end of indication range, for determining that the longitudinal edge on the right side of the other end of indication range is boundary line 322, the right (example of tail portion).Boundary line, the left side 321 is displayed on the position corresponding with the priority of the commodity (commodity that the order of display is minimum) of the beginning having a guide look of display in the commodity guide look 201 that is consistent.Additionally, boundary line, the right 322 is displayed on the position corresponding with the priority of the last commodity (commodity that the order of display is maximum) having a guide look of display in the commodity guide look 201 that is consistent.By indication range frame 320 is shown on chart 311, can visually understand the retrieval result of which scope among retrieval result entirety and be currently displayed.Additionally, boundary line, the left side 321 and boundary line, the right 322 separately can be moved left and right by the drag operation of user.So-called left direction at this, the direction that the direction referring to the transverse axis along chart area 310, the order i.e. transverse axis being represented diminish.On the other hand, so-called right direction at this, the direction referring to the transverse axis along chart area 310, the order i.e. transverse axis being represented become big direction.Thereby, it is possible to change is in the scope of the commodity that are consistent of the commodity guide look 201 guide look display that is consistent.
Slider bar 330 is such as displayed on the lower section of chart area 310.Slider bar 330 comprises toggle 331 (example of operating portion).Toggle 331 shows the position identical with the display position of indication range frame 320 in the transverse direction.Toggle 331 can moved left and right along the direction parallel with the X direction of chart area 310 by the drag operation of user.Further, in linkage, indication range frame 320 is moving left and right the movement with toggle 331 along the direction parallel with the X direction of chart area 310 direction of the order retrieving result (expression show).Thereby, it is possible to change is in the scope of the commodity that are consistent of the commodity guide look 201 guide look display that is consistent.
The display items purpose value of the commodity that maximum 343 represents among the value of the commodity of the full part retrieved with numeral, display items purpose value is maximum.Additionally, the display items purpose meansigma methods of commodity that meansigma methods 344 is numerically retrieved.Additionally, always retrieve the number of packages of several 345 commodity numerically retrieved.Additionally, indication range minima 341 is numerically had a guide look of among the commodity that are consistent of display in the commodity guide look 201 that is consistent, the display items purpose value of the commodity of display items purpose value minimum.Additionally, indication range maximum 342 is numerically had a guide look of among the commodity that are consistent of display in the commodity guide look 201 that is consistent, the display items purpose value of the commodity of display items purpose value maximum.
Display project alternatives menu 350 is for selecting the display items purpose drop-down menu making display project information display area 300 show information.
Among the information shown by display project information display area 300, the display image of chart area 310, chart 311 and meansigma methods line 312, shopping server 1 the view data i.e. bar chart image data shown as chart (example of chart display information) generate.User terminal 2 is when showing the retrieval page based on html document, and the description of IMG label (tag) based on this html document, from the view data of shopping server reception chart display.Then, user terminal 2 shows the view data that chart shows on retrieval result page face, shows indication range frame 320 and slider bar 330 simultaneously.In the display of the toggle 331 of indication range frame 320 and slider bar 330, utilize such as Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript (registered trade mark)+XML) etc..By the script described in execution html document, in the position corresponding with the scope of the commodity that are consistent of guide look display in the commodity guide look 201 that is consistent, carrying out indication range frame 320 and the display of slider bar 330, the width of indication range frame 320 is adjusted in addition.
It follows that explanation is for the example of the user operation of display project information display area 300.
In Fig. 4, select price order from low to high as class condition.The number of packages of the commodity retrieved is 1000.Further, in the commodity guide look 201 that is consistent, 1 information 210 of the commodity that are consistent of from the 421st to the 450th (i.e., from the cheap commodity of price the 421st to the 450th cheap commodity) 30 is shown.On the other hand, display project is price.Therefore, chart 311 represents the priority of the display retrieving result and the relation of price.It is to say, the transverse axis of chart area 310 represents the priority (order) of the display of retrieval result, the longitudinal axis is denoted as display items purpose price.Due to the benchmark project of class condition consistent with display project (i.e., retrieval result arranges according to order based on prompting numerical value (price)), and class condition is ascending order, therefore chart 311 becomes the chart (along with the order of display becomes big, display items purpose value (price) also becomes the chart of big monotone increasing) that right shoulder rises.Additionally, the left end of chart 311 is corresponding to the 1st, the right side of chart 311 corresponds to the 1000th.The boundary line, the left side 321 of indication range frame 320 show on chart 311 with the 421st corresponding position.Additionally, the boundary line, the right 322 of indication range frame 320 show on chart 311 with the 450th corresponding position.Additionally, indication range minima 341 represents 4700 yen, indication range maximum 342 represents 5190 yen.Owing to the benchmark project of class condition is consistent with display project and class condition is ascending order, therefore 4700 yen is the price of the commodity that are consistent of the 421st, and 5190 yen is the price of the commodity that are consistent of the 450th.
Here, for example, assuming that user carries out making the operation of boundary line 322, the right right direction (i.e., along the X direction of chart area 310, the order of display becomes big direction) movement.Then, boundary line, the right 322 moves right, and the width of indication range frame 320 is elongated.Further, as it is shown in figure 5, boundary line 322 moves to during with the 480th corresponding position on the right, after user operation terminates, in commodity guide look 201 display that is consistent from 1 information 210 of the commodity that are consistent of 60 of the 421st to the 480th.Additionally, the display of indication range maximum 342 is changed to 5800 yen.5800 yen is the price of the commodity that are consistent of the 480th.
During additionally, show at picture in the retrieval result page face shown in Fig. 4, it is assumed that user carries out making the operation of toggle 331 right direction (i.e., along the X direction of chart area 310, the order of display becomes big direction) movement.Then, indication range frame 320 moves right.Further, as shown in Figure 6, in boundary line, the left side 321 until carrying out indication range frame 320 with the 601st corresponding position when moving, if user operation terminates, then in commodity guide look 201 display that is consistent from 1 information 210 of the commodity that are consistent of 30 of the 601st to the 630th.Additionally, the display of indication range minima 341 is changed to 6600 yen.6600 yen is the price of the commodity that are consistent of the 601st.Additionally, the display of indication range maximum 342 is changed to 7500 yen.7500 yen is the price of the commodity that are consistent of the 630th.
During additionally, show at picture in the retrieval result page face shown in Fig. 4, it is assumed that user operation display project alternatives menu 350, display project changes to carry out the evaluation in the shop sold.Then, as it is shown in fig. 7, chart 311 is changed to the priority (order of display) representing the display of retrieval result and carries out the chart of the relation of the evaluation in shop sold.It is to say, chart area 310 represents the priority (order) of the display of retrieval result, the longitudinal axis is denoted as display items purpose and carries out the evaluation in the shop sold.In the case of Gai, the benchmark project of class condition be price, and display project is by the evaluation in the shop sold.Accordingly, because the benchmark project of class condition is inconsistent with display project, so chart 311 is basically, declines neither right shoulder rising is not right shoulder, increase and minimizing is mixed.Additionally, indication range minima 341, indication range maximum 342, maximum 343 and the display of meansigma methods 344, it is changed to the display of evaluation of estimate respectively.
It follows that explanation display project information display area 300 utilize example.Assuming that user searches for the digital camera of the price zone of regulation.In the case of Gai, search condition be set to " digital camera ", sort criteria is set to price order from low to high.When performing retrieval according to this condition, in the commodity guide look 201 that is consistent, such as show 1 information 210 of the commodity that are consistent from the 1st to the 30th by price order from low to high.Additionally, chart 311 becomes the chart of the monotone increasing of the right shoulder rising of the priority of the display representing Search Results and the relation of price.Indication range frame 320, on chart 311, corresponding with the position of the 1st to the 30th shows.
According to chart 311 and indication range frame 320, user is able to know that the retrieval result showing the price zone retrieving among result entirety which part.Additionally, according to indication range minima 341 and the display of indication range maximum 342, user can know clearly and shows the price zone retrieving result.Additionally, according to maximum 343, meansigma methods 344 and the display of total retrieval several 345, user will appreciate that the overall condition of retrieval result.
Additionally, the price zone that according to chart 311 and indication range frame 320, user is able to know that among retrieval result entirety, the scope of which part is desirable to.Therefore, user selects the arbitrary link of other retrieval results link groups 203 such that it is able to show the retrieval result of desired price zone.Additionally, user is by making the toggle 331 of slider bar 330 move, it is also possible to show the retrieval result of desired price zone.Substantially, for making toggle 331 move than selecting other to retrieve the link of results link groups 203, can reduce until showing the number of operations till the retrieval result of desired price zone.Further, user is moved by the boundary line, the left side 321 or boundary line, the right 322 making indication range frame 320, it is possible to so that the price zone of display retrieval result is consistent with desired price zone.
Here, in existing information display device, the display number of packages of retrieval every 1 page of result, majority is to preset in system or be set by user.Therefore, in the case of total number of packages of retrieved message is more than the display number of packages of retrieval every 1 page of result, the information having a guide look of display in retrieval result 1 page becomes the part among the information of the full part retrieved.In the case of Gai, when user wants the guide look browsing the information beyond currently displaying information, such as, must carry out the link being shown as " lower one page " selecting operation.In contrast, in the case of user searches for desired information among retrieval result, typically there is in desired information the benchmark of some.As the project of this benchmark, such as, there are the newness degree of information, the price of commodity, access number, evaluation of estimate etc..Further, the numerical value of the most this project, shown relatively by the information shown with current guide look on retrieval result page face.But, in existing information display device, owing to not knowing that the value that whether there is described project beyond the information of current guide look display is in the information in the desired scope of user, therefore user cannot determine whether to browse the guide look of the information beyond by the information of current guide look display.
Problem for this existing information display device, in user terminal 2 of the present embodiment, just it is understood which kind of value there is relative to condition (display project) the retrieval result entirety of regulation, be in which kind of state as all conditions (display project) relative to regulation in addition according to chart 311 and indication range frame 320.
[the 5. action of purchase system]
It follows that about the action of purchase system S, utilize Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 to illustrate.
Fig. 8 is the flow chart of the process example of the systems control division 40 representing user terminal 2 of the present embodiment.The process of Fig. 8 such as proceeds by when user inputs search condition and sort criteria, request retrieval beginning.
First, the retrieval request comprising inputted search condition and sort criteria is sent to shopping server 1 (step S1) by systems control division 40.Then, systems control division 40 receives the html document (step S2) sending the retrieval result page face come from shopping server 1 corresponding to retrieval request.
Then, systems control division 40 resolves the content (step S3) of html document.Then, retrieval result page face, according to the description of html document, is shown the picture at display part 32 by systems control division 40.Specifically, systems control division 40 display is consistent (steps S4) such as commodity guide look 201, sort criteria link group 202, other retrieval results link groups 203.Additionally, systems control division 40 shows maximum 343, meansigma methods 344 and several 345 (steps S5) of total retrieval.Additionally, systems control division 40 shows indication range minima 341 and indication range maximum 342 (step S6).
In addition, systems control division 40 obtains the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of bar chart image data from the IMG label that bar chart image data show, it is determined that whether be saved in (step S7) in storage part 35 by the caching as network browser program with acquired bar chart image data corresponding for URL.Now, systems control division 40 preserves and (step S7: no) in the case of acquired bar chart image data corresponding for URL not having, and will comprise the view data request transmission of acquired URL to shopping server 1 (step S8).Then, systems control division 40 correspondence image request of data receives and sends, from shopping server 1, the bar chart image data of coming, and is saved in storage part 15 (step S9).
Systems control division 40 is (step S7: yes) in the case of bar chart image data corresponding for the URL saved with obtain, or in the case of finishing the process of step S9, based on the image (step S10) showing chart with the bar chart image data corresponding for URL obtained.It follows that systems control division 40 shows indication range frame 320 and slider bar 330 (step S11).In the html document received, embed display start sequence number, display number of packages and always retrieve number.Additionally, systems control division 40 can obtain display position and the horizontal pixel count of bar chart image of bar chart image.Therefore, systems control division 40 based on these information, can determine display position and width, the display position of toggle 331 of indication range frame 320.
Then, systems control division 40 is based on the indication signal inputted from operating portion 31, it is determined whether user operation (step S12) detected.Now, in the case of systems control division 40 is not detected by user operation (step S12: no), the judgement of step S12 is again carried out.On the other hand, in the case of systems control division 40 detects user operation (step S12: yes), it is determined that the content (step S13) of the user operation detected.
Now, systems control division 40 is in the case of certain operation linked that user operation is selection sort conditional link group 202 (step S13: classification), send comprising to shopping server 1 (step S14) with the selected classification request linking corresponding class condition, and be transferred to step S2.Afterwards, systems control division 40 receives and sends, from shopping server 1, the html document of coming corresponding to classification request, again shows retrieval result page face.In this case, according to select link corresponding class condition, rearrange the priority of display retrieving result.Additionally, display project is changed the benchmark project to class condition.Therefore, the display content of the display project information display area 300 comprising chart 311 changes.
In step s 13, systems control division 40 is (step S13: display Xiang Mingda) in the case of user operation is to show the operation showing project alternatives in project alternatives menu 350, the display Xiang Mingda request of the display items purpose project kind comprised selected by expression is sent to shopping server 1 (step S15), and is transferred to step S2.Afterwards, systems control division 40 receives and sends, from shopping server 1, the html document of coming corresponding to display Xiang Mingda request, again shows retrieval result page face.In this case, the information change shown by the display project information display area 300 of chart 311 is being comprised to selected display items purpose information.
